Inspired by Patterson's writing in her book, Bridge to Terabithia, 5M played and experimented with the use of onomatopoeia and similes, mixed in short and long sentences. Based on the main character's unusual morning, 5M crafted an unusual morning of their own.

"Morning have a great day" my dad says as he goes to work. I sit up as fast as a jumping jellybean and creep out of my bed slowly so I wouldn't wake up my sister. I tiptoed into the kitchen and opened the fridge and grabbed an up and go. I slurped and slurped until it was done. I through my empty hollow carton into the smelly bin and pranced quietly down the hall but then my cat ran straight past me as fast as a lightning bolt. I walked into the lounge room and slid onto my couch. I was as comity as a humming bird in it's nest. I was sitting there for about five seconds and I was fast asleep again. In my dream I was on a big stage playing Clara from the nutcracker. I was on point and turning but then I felt something on my head. It was my kitten sticking her claws in my head. "OUCH" I screamed while I was pulling her of me. Next sister ran out and jumped on me saying I woke her up. I was so tired!!!! I thought that this day was going to be long.

"Beep, Beep, Beep" "WACK!" Finally off. MAX WAKE UP! its 10 am your late for breakfast your brother Thomas is gonna eat all of your waffles, WHAT WAFFLES MY WAFFLES IN MY BROTHERS MOUTH! Max Jumped out of his bed shuving his mum to get out of his way running down the stairs grabbing his waffles from the kitchen desk and then ran back up to his room locking the door eating his waffles crumbs everywhere and when he finished he went strait back to bed he was that tired running down stairs and then back up eating his waffles extremely fast took all of his energy that was gonna last him the whole day.

Garfield was tumbling down the stairs as fast as he could all the way to his hot sizzling lasagne that was waiting for him on the kitchen bench...... When out of the corner of his eye some dark figure on the edge of the room was staring at him. Garfield stopped in midair questioning to see who it was. Was it the feisty ginger cat from next door or was it a slobbery dog from down the noisy street? What ever that beast was it was creeping towards him slowly. Garfield didn't know what to do. Would he get his hot delicious lasagne or run for his cat life
